New video games seem to come out every week to me, and I never get a
chance to play them. Take Halo 3: ODST for example. It seems like it
came out just a few weeks ago, and I barely finished it a few days ago.
In fact it's been much longer, but regardless, here are the minifigs.
Out of date as usual. At this rate I should have my Mass Effect 2
characters up by 2011.

Most of the guns are fromBrickarms. If you
decide to place an order there, let 'em know Saber-Scorpion sent
ya!

Romeo's goggles are fromBrickforge. If
you decide to place an order there, let 'em know Saber-Scorpion
sent ya!

Finally, please excuse the awful photos. I was not at my usual location
and had limited resources to work with.

A closer look at the Rookie, our heroic mute protagonist, as compared
with his McFarlane action figure. The armor is a little greenish, but
that's hard to convey in LEGO so I did the best I could on the armored
areas of the decals. The Rookie's only known name is 11282-31220-JD (JD
for John Doe) because he's a freakin' robot or Borg or something. He
can't give voice to his thoughts because he's so used to talking through
a network in the Collective. It's spooky.

This guy is Mal... err, I mean Buck. Or Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck
(Service Number 92458-37017-EB) if you ask the fanboys.

He's totally the coolest character in the game and if you even have to
ask why then you really need to go catch a
Firefly. Also he's got a knife. The only way he could be cooler
(besides his armor being red instead of boring grey) is if he could
actually use the knife in-game, like some kind of special backstab
ability. I think all the characters should have special abilities. The
Rookie's would be boring the enemy to death because HE'S BORING.

This guy is Nathan Drake... err, I mean Romeo. Or Kojo "Romeo" Agu
(Service Number 14606-85099-KA) if you ask the fanboys.

He's the team's Black Guy played by a white dude (Nolan North, king of
all video game voices) doing a deep voice. You can tell he's the team's
sniper because he's kinda got those cool goggles on top of his head.
Like Mal's knife, they are not actually usable, although they should be
(maybe to make every weapon have a zoom feature). He's actually one of
the more interesting characters in the game since he seems to have the
closest buddy relationship to Mal.

This guy is Jayne... err, I mean Dutch. Or Corporal Taylor H. "Dutch"
Miles (Service Number 21175-12121-TM) if you ask the fanboys.

He's the second coolest character right behind Mal, just like in
certain other things. I mean, just check out his armor. He might as
well have spray painted the word "badass" all over it instead. I don't
know why they didn't base his face on Adam Baldwin's instead of making
him this scruffy ugly dude, but I guess you can't have everything... Oh,
and his special ability should be extra ammo storage or something since
he's got all those pouches.

This guy is Wash... err, I mean Mickey. Or Michael "Mickey" Crespo
(Service Number 51033-15973-MC) if you ask the fanboys.

He's probably the second most boring character right after
what's-his-name, the one that doesn't talk. Also, I know Alan Tudyk is
weird looking but he still isn't as weird looking as Mickey, so he's
represented here by a generic LEGO head that kinda has a communicator on
it. Hope you don't mind. Mickey's role in the squad is to talk to Dutch
so that you get to hear Jayne's voice, and who doesn't want to hear
Jayne's voice? Jayne is awesome.

This gal is Number Six... err, I mean Dare. Or Captain Veronica Dare of
the Office of Naval Intelligence if you ask the fanboys.

She's actually one of the cooler characters in the game, and it's about
time one of the Halo games featured a flesh-and-blood woman in a role
other than "pincushion" (see Miranda Keyes). Also she must be awesome
because SHE CAN HAZ RECON. Her voice actress, Tricia Helfer, is the
Leading Lady of Sci-Fi right now, I swear. She's now been in Battlestar
Galactica, Halo, Mass Effect 2, and soon will voice none other than
Sarah Kerrigan, Queen of the frakkin' Zerg. Holy crap! Next thing
you know JJ Abrams will cast her as Nurse Chapel and the voice of the
Enterprise, and then no one will ever be able to dethrone her.

The only LEGO I had with me when taking these photos were the ODSTs
themselves and this here Brute, so I wanted to give you an action shot
of perhaps the coolest fight in the game: the cutscene where Mal goes
all Dustin Echoes on a Brute with his knife.

No, seriously, I had Dustin Echoes kill a brute in exactly this same
way, while wearing ODST armor no less, in my Halo fan fic. Great, now I
sound like a total nerd picking his nose and going "Bungie... they read
my fan fictions! I AM NOT WORTHY!"... Anyway, I thought it was cool.

Final shot of the whole team in their helmets. Oh, and to sum up my
opinion of Halo ODST: great atmosphere, fun game, but way too short. The
story ends JUST when it's starting to get interesting. Here's hoping for
a sequel, because I'd be way more excited about that than I am for
Reach.

these r friggin awesome....i hav recon ...but i had to go through a lot of bullcrap to get it though ...it was probably the hardest thing ive ever done.....but since you can get it in reach if u preorder it it wont mean anything at all anymore just a lot of dudes with recon who probably suck and dont even have security...i hope they come our with a new armor for pros and bungie though

im just surprised that you SELL these decals i know its 4 moneymaking but its ridiculous to have to pay for them ...i just wish had the visor decal for my odsts im stuck with a plain grey face in wich i sharpied but my modified helmet is good ...ill post it once i make my own decals

*facedesk* Viper, stfu. A single one of these is better than anything you could ever make. Evar. Also, have you ever heard of punctuation or not double posting? Now go away, and stop pestering a master uv teh leaygoez.

sweet!!!!! because you think dare is awsome,why dont you make a dio of one of the fights that she's in, like at the drone hive or the drive across the bridge.anyway sweet minis,especialy romeo where you put the binoculors or whatever they're called on him.

They ALL look awesome.But i don't like dare,why?First person to ever get recon,and its totaled on the very first mission.People have coveted that armor for years,just to see it get fired like a rocket.

Amazing work scorp! And by the way, in Halo reach there is a knife assisination thing, all spartins have a knife. Instead of just cracking their spines, there is a full animation on assasinations. You should check out the Multiplayer beta trailer for it. Also, I think the reason why ODST was sooo expensive is because it comes with $30 of map packs. Just a thought. And, last but not least, I'd like to thank you for the stuff you make. It's really inspired me to try makin' somthin' good. And now I've been told that my fuelrod gun is comparaple to yours! What an honour! lol

This made my day. I know you have ALOT of stuff to manage, but a firefight vig would be epic. BTW rookie is just an overgrown grunt spy who (somehow) managed to get by with shrugs and other vague gestures. Duh. Good moc tho.

all thoght i have not played halo ODST or eny halo games i have not evn got a xbox but these minifigs are great and the thing on pic8 looks amazing but looking at your halo pics will give me a clear image of what is in the games
eny way ecellent :)

I was talking about the ones on his head. Didn't think they were official lego, might have to check those out. Thanks :).... Oh, I just remembered something. I sent you an e-mail a while ago with an important question about publishing books. Do you still have it, or should I re-send it? Thanks again.

I like it

Blade Bat

February 26, 2010

Oh you only played one I thought you might of played more, since alot of the jokes in SYWBAA seem alot like stuff from Zelda BTW I would highly recomend just about any zelda game you should try some of 'em.

Very nice. The decals are amazing as always. I haven't played much of ODST, but from what I can tell, these are spot on! By the way, where does everyone get that piece you used as "binocluars"?

If you mean the ones on Romeo's helmet, they're from brickforge dot com. If you mean the ones on his sniper rifle, they're LEGO part number 30304. You can currently get them in the Snowtrooper Battle Pack set, among others.

yay! the first thing i thought after playing halo ODST is "omg that would be so cool in lego, better go and check saber scorpions stuff" by the way, scorp, are you planning on updating your comics anytime soon, your half way though both of your lego ones and nova refuge is in the middle of a fight sceen.

Very nice figs, plus it's good to find someone else who didn't think ODST was a total failure! Oh, I think Birckarms are selling the Supressed M7

I enjoyed ODST. It was nothing spectacular, but the single player story was enjoyable, especially if played alone the first time. I think people were disappointed because they were expecting Halo 4 or something. It should have been sold as a low-price "expansion" sort of deal rather than a full game; then people would have been more forgiving.
Anyway, so Brickarms is selling the SMG again now? Naturally without the H&K names this time. That's cool; I guess I can remove that comment now - thanks!

Very nice figs, plus it's good to find someone else who didn't think ODST was a total failure! Oh, I think Birckarms are selling the Supressed M7 (Yes, it's really the Tactical PDW, but supressed M7 sounds so much better)again in the Modern Combat pack. It's completely made up of discontinued products - Callum

Wow. As always (Yes, I know I'm sounding stinkin' scratched record-ish) the figs are exquisite. I love the fact that you made them, certainly, feel like the characters in the game. Which I found to be rather booooring. I dunno'... I plan to play it again over the weekend, and then we'll see what me thinks. Anyhow - I agree with you on many points in your commentary, but Dutch was THE coolest character. I practically quoted him non-stop (Almost) the week after I finished the game. There, now look what you've done! I've gone off on a tangent, like some Scorp fan boy... thanks. (Great figs! :) )

You'd better believe Nolan North is the king of voice acting. I mean, Nathan Drake plus roles in all those other games? It's fantastic. He should star in every videogame ever.
Oh, and the minifigs are great, too. As always!
